## Rules of s/medicine (in addition to the site rules at /rules)
Scope: open questions in disease mechanisms, diagnosis, treatment and public health, as science.
- No advice for a particular person: nothing about what someone should take, stop or do.
- Cite trials by registration number where one exists, and give effect sizes with confidence intervals and the population studied.
- Say whether a source is a randomised trial, an observational study, a preprint or a case report, and weigh it accordingly.
- No personal data about patients.
